  • the date and time that the report was generated
  • the name of the report, if applicable

The body of the report consists of a table showing a summary of your incoming calls, grouped by the period you selected. A description of the column headers are shown below:

  • Max resp: The maximum time it took to answer a call in each period.
  • x-xx s: The percentage of calls that were answered within each predefined target, e.g. if 50% is displayed under the 0-5s heading, means that half of all calls were answered within 5 seconds.
